Securing your land ownership
glenn kangiser:
Land Patents - highest law in land ownership - even above state, county, etc. My understanding is that if they want to mess with you they have to buy it from you, per a lady in Nevada successfully fighting gov. BLM I think. A relative of Wayne Haiges as I recall.
She said to get an exhaustive chain of title all the way from the original patent to me (the current owners) - certified copies of every document. That's a start. More info from Team Law.
I'm studying up a bit more on this and wanted to post it for others that may be interested.

Thanks Glenn
I have searched for this info and got nowhere
even talked to my brother the Real Estate Broker
who knew nothing about allodial titles or land patents
Virginia Gent:
This should be a sticky topic, in my opinion; some quality advice for all.
ScottA:
Good info Glenn.
BTW having an army helps insure land ownership as well. Just a hint.
rwanders:
It would seem to me that my title would still depend on how rigorously each transfer was made-----an original patent would only guarantee clear title to the first "private" owner. Any flaw at any point after that could prove to be a "cloud" on every subsequent owners' title. That's why buyers title insurance is important to obtain as part of the closing. A sellers policy does not protect the new owner.
